Random thoughts and facts today...I'm incredibly bored and unable to concentrate. Ugh!
Happy Halloweeeen.

I'm a bad little blogger
So after my maiden post I have yet to add anything else. It's been hard for me to develop my thoughts into full posts, but just like with everything sometimes it's best to jump in and see what happens. In an attempt to give a little more insight to my world, I'll fill out this neat little ABC exercise.
Automobile: Well, mine reallllly needs cleaned right now. Usually I'm super-picky about the way my car looks, but my semi-long-distance relationship has pretty much squashed the idea this fall. I'm in my car basically every weekend, and recently made the mistake of taking the adorable Miss Gwen (kitty) with me to visit J...and found out she gets CAR SICK, not adorable. So even after that clean-up job the Cam Cam could use a detail job. I could go on and on about this category--specifically Corvetter convertibles, FX35s and the ever-popular Benz, but I'll save it for another post :)
Beating myself up about: not working out last night.
Crying over: working a 14 hr day today...but it's nothing new.
Dealing with: important decisions about where to go to grad school and finding Jbaby a job.
Excited: about HALLOWEEEEEEN. Favorite.Holiday.Ever.
Forgiveness & “F*ck”: Don't really go hand in hand in my book. Trust issues? Maybe.
Gastroenterology: Plays a WAY bigger role in my life than I would like. I have Ulcerative Colitis, a gastroentestinal problem that is easy to forget about at times, but the symptoms ensure I never, never skip taking my medication. Google it if you want, it's a little TMI than I care to discuss.
Hugs: make up for the distance in my relationship. In Carrie Bradshaw terminology, nothing can beat spending weekends "in the nook."
Jealousy: See, I'm not usually a ridiculously jealous girl. Actually I can't stand girls who are...BUT I recently figured out what does drive me crazy. Girls who don't RESPECT when a guy is in a relationship. I trust my boyfriend, I just don't trust skanky college girls. So I managed to secure the nicest, best-looking guy on your campus, get over it bitches. Oops, where did that come from? :)
Kosher: Is something I should know more about since 70% of the people I work for are Jewish...
Listening to: a lot of Mat Kearney and Citizen Cope. I've been rocking out in my car during my weekend drives lately :)
Marriage: yes, please.
Need: a workout and some extra hours in my life. I'm most likely going to be up until 2am making cupcakes for Halloween tonight!
Obsessing over: $$$. I have way too many things I need/want right now. Is a round-trip to Paris and a legal education too much to ask?
Praying: for the strength and knowledge to make good decisions.
Quiet: more than most people are comfortable with. I think before I speak and get annoyed when people talk just to hear themselves.
Relationships: make life worth living.
Showtunes: no thanks.
Trying: to make myself happy and my family proud.
Unhappy: when I feel underappreciated, which is a little too often lately.
Vizio: I'm obsessed w/ my 42" LCD tv and its performance during Sunday Night FOOTBALL! Love love love it.
Wii: The only video game I've played since the original Playstation :) You know its fun when it gives you tennis elbow.
X : leave it in the past.
Yum: I'm a little obsessed with cooking and watching the Food Network. The things I make are either really really healthy, or really really bad. I'm kind of an all or nothing kind of girl. I don't play "just the tip" and I drink to get drunk too :)
Zoo!: The one place J and I really wanted to go this summer and didn't get a chance to do! Booooo.
Fun times :) Happy Tuesday!

Ok, so I kind of am...
...BUT I’m a waitress with BA from a private liberal arts college (dubbed the “Harvard of the Midwest,” if you will :) ). Since I’ve begun my endeavor into the world of the service industry, I have realized this is not as ironic as it seems. The majority of the people I work with at a major-chain sports bar and grill also hold a college degree.
I have a full-time job during the day, and work at the restaurant some evening and weekends during major sporting events. Thus far I have been amazed at how much you can learn about human nature through the food service. I don’t want to into it too much during my first *ever* blog, but rest assured, lots of insight on shitty tippers and customers will follow!
So what else…I’m a 20-something petite blonde currently debating if I want to go to law school (I’m accepted for Fall ’08). My undergrad work was focused in biology, and I’m interested in nutrition and dietetics so further study in those areas is a possibility as well. I’m in a three year relationship with an adorable and really great guy who will be hereafter known as J. I live alone (J is a senior now at the college where we met), but in the same apt. building as a lot of my friends from school, and we basically try to live exactly like we did when we were in college. It has been said that the only thing our life is missing is a meal plan :) We live downtown in close proximity to all the bars, restaurants, the mall and right next to the law and med school so we pretty much have it made for now.
My parents and 17-yr old sister (most likely to be called Little Sis or LS for blogging purposes) live 45 min away in the small town where I grew up and went to high school. I don’t see them often enough bc of my hectic schedule and I can’t waaait to go home for the holidays. Yes, I know 45 min is nothing but my weekends in the fall are consumed by FOOTBALL! J plays on Saturday (he’s the star of the offense, seriously, like offensive player of the year the last 3 yrs), and on Sunday I’m usually exploiting drunk football fans out of their money at work. I forgot to mention the real reason I’m a part-time waitress, we make bank during football season for doing basically nothing. Sidenote--making friends w/ the hostesses and getting a section full of drunk guys telling you that you look like Britney Spears before KFed helps w/ this process. Days like that make it fun, taking shots between tables and walking with $400 for half a days work (I’m using the term lightly here) doesn’t hurt either!
Woop, welcome to my blog :)
